having spent a good 3 minutes 'dusting' (or rather undusting) the right eye of this cat with a cloning tool, i decided there were better ways to spend my time and/or energy. ~grin~ like maybe i could remove the dust in reality and then repost the picture??
is that sort of like revisionist history??
have a wonderful wednesday, folks 💙
One of the main reasons for visiting Namibia is in the hope of seeing desert adapted animals, in particular Elephants.
We took a small plane up to the north of the Skeleton Coast to an area known as the Hoanib Valley. Considered one of the last true wilderness areas, Hoanib river is dry most of the time, but provides an oasis for wildlife in a very harsh environment. The flight was well worth doing to explore one of the most remote areas of the country, and one of the best places to look for desert adapted Elephants.
One our first morning we came across a small herd just as they were having a dust bath. They do this to help with thermoregulation, as well as providing sunscreen and removing parasites.
Matteo's favorite toy looks like a feather duster! In this photo, he's debating whether to jump up and grab it. He did...but I couldn't hold the phone steady enough to grab that shot! 😕
Thanks to all for viewing, faving and/or commenting! Much appreciated! L
Happy Caturday!
It hasn't rained in weeks at the time of this photo, so it's evident that all sorts of dust and debris is up in the air during this period of dry weather. The Empire Builder, meanwhile, departs Saint Paul, Minnesota passing Dayton's Bluff after ducking under Saint Paul's famous signal bridge adorned with searchlight signals.

Another shot from Nxai Pan, Botswana.
Taken just before sunset, September 2018.
"Nxai Pan National Park is a national park in north-eastern Botswana, consisting of Nxai Pan, which is one of the Makgadikgadi Pan salt flats. Nxai Pan National Park lies just north of the Maun-Nata main road and adjoins Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border. The pan itself is a fossil lake bed about 40 square km in size."
One benefits of going to the same wetlands for 13 years is learning the favorite spots for certain behaviors. This one spot has been used by hummingbirds to towhees
Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!
A slight dusting of snow caught on the branches of these larches as the morning light hits the top of the trees
Come bumble-footed ones,
dust squigglers, furry ripplers,
inchers and squirmers
humble in gray and brown,
find out our secret places,
devour our hearts,
measure us, geometer, with your curved teeth!
Leaves lick at the window, clouds
stream away,
yet we lie here,
perfect,
locked in our dark chambers
when we could rise in you
brief, splendid
twenty-plume, gold-
spotted ghost, pink scavenger,
luna whose pale-green wings
glow with moons and planets
at one with the burning world
whose one desire is to escape itself.

========================
The Random Matter Moth Halo at C88 was extremely inspiring. I needed to do something with it. So uh - here. Bit messy and still trying to find my legs again, but i'm happy with it. k thnx.
A light dusting of snow the night before made the colorful scene at Painted Canyon more mute. Still, a beautiful area.
It was once a paint brush but when the handle broke it became my dust brush. I'm sure I've had it longer than I've had my Pentax K200D in the background, i.e. 2008. HMM

Delta 1717 climbs off runway 17 bound for Chicago O'Hare. As the gear is retracted, brakes are automatically applied to stop wheel spin and occasionally shed brake dust accumulated from the previous landing as seen here.
U789 rides through the sag into Faribanks, Minnesota. Definitely dust season as they hit track speed.

Snow dusted mountains are reflected in the still, evening waters of North Lake.

A gorgeous fine day but very windy.... look at all that dust ! Preparing the fields for planting again. Taken about 2 miles from home. I could see for miles and miles..... this is a cropped image.
You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine, it springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
As 99 red balloons go by
99 Decision Street
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call out the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it, boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by
99 knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by
99 red balloons go by
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here...
And here is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
there is no more stone! it has become dust. going to my album 'matières, you can see it before when it was already a stone who lost its color.
